After I got the plate off I discovered that the front case weld was 1/8" high preventing the plate from sealing. it was pivoting on the high weld spot, took my grinder to it with a cutting blade to reach it. Now it sits flush and seals well.
That's great to hear, thanks for the feedback. I don't use my machine very often, so I take some short cuts. A professional probably would have replaced the fluid, but I wanted to do it on the cheap. So far no issues!
I was waiting for someone to call me out on that 😆 a little water shouldn't hurt right? Reusing the gasket was probably a better call. Waste of time and effort gooping it
Good morning - I thought about that after posting this... I don't think it matters if they skip occasionally since they aren't timing anything, I would just lose wheel traction under load. Could become annoying. The teeth on the sprocket still looked good, so I suspect I'll be good for as long as I own it (I only use it a few hours a week). If it becomes an issue I will replace them (chains are ~100 bucks or $200 from Bobcat.
Hi Ran, What model number is your machine? Looks like there were a few different engines for that year. I don't have the manual, but will keep an eye out. Per Bobcat: "A 10W-30 weight oil is a common factory-fill for many current production machines. It offers top performance in temperatures typically ranging from zero degrees F to 90 degrees F and above. A 15W-40 weight performs well from 25 degrees F to 110 degrees F and above." Synthetic or synthetic-blended oils are formulated with additives that can extend oil change intervals and promote longer engine life. A 5W-40 weight synthetic oil is usually capable of providing protection in harsh conditions as cold as minus 40 degrees F and as hot as 120 degrees F.

Thank you, this really helped out. need to reseal my plate on my 01 753G. the tidbit about the stripping out the case bolts was good!

Great to hear - I've had 6 hydraulic leaks already... seems as soon as I fix it, the next one downstream goes. Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you. This helped me out alot!

Keep all glued in the fridge to last longer
So why did you not seal the bolts? Water will find its way through the bolt holes with the bolt in it..

The flange on the bolt head is sealed to the gasket.
how long do you think you can go before those chains either skip or break?
